  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
This paper presents a methodology to develop an optimal coordinated bidding strategy of a supplier considering hourly price-volume bid in Day-Ahead Energy Market (DAEM) and Balancing Energy market (BEM). In this work, a bi-level optimization problem has been proposed considering rivals' bidding behavior, inter temporal constraints, and multi period auction. Lower level problem represents the market clearing process of System Operator (SO). Upper level problem represents the supplier's profit maximization function, which is non linear. Therefore, Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) algorithm, a modern heuristic approach, has been used to obtain the best solution of the proposed bi-level optimization problem. The effectiveness of proposed method has been tested on 5-bus system. Results obtained using the ABC algorithm has been compared with those obtained using a Genetic Algorithm (GA) based approach.

  • Full Article
One of the factors that affect the fermentation process on the production of patchouli oil by Phanerochaete chrysosporium is the composition of media and fermentation time. In general, the type of media used to growth of Phanerocheate chrysosporium is the NLM that it contains pure MgSO4. On the other hand, the kieserite has high concentration of MgSO4 which is expected to replace pure MgSO4 as a growth medium for Phanerochaete chrysosporium and the price is cheaper than MgSO4. The aims of this research was to determine the effect of kieserite addition and fermentation time to yield, refractive index, and patchouli alcohol content of patchouli oil production. Research done by the fermentation of patchouli leaf powder by Phanerochaete chrysosporium using media containing kieserite. Fermented was dissolved in n-hexan that subsequently separated between the oil in n-hexan and the residue. Product of patchouli oil was adsorbed by bentonit, and patchouli oil was separated by filtration. The final product of patchouli oil was analyzed yield, refractive index, fat content, and % patchouli alcohol to get of the best yield.The variables used in this research are fermentation time (7, 9, 11, 13, 15 days) and kieserite addition (0.5, 1, 1.5 g / L media). The results showed that the decrease kieserite added and increasing fermentation time causes increased yield. The best of the product on this research was result of variable fermentation time 15 days and kieserite addition 0,5 g/L media which the best result was yield (5.32%), refractive index (1.509), fat (negative), and patchouli alcohol (34.3%).

Neuro-Genetic Optimization of LDO-fired Rotary Furnace Parameters for the Production of Quality Castings
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
The rising demand for high quality homogenous castings necessitate that vast amount of manufacturing knowledge be incorporated in manufacturing systems. Rotary furnace involves several critical parameters like excess air, flame temperature, rotational speed of the furnace drum, melting time, preheat air temperature, fuel consumption and melting rate of the molten metal which should be controlled throughout the melting process. A complex relationship exists between these manufacturing parameters and hence there is a need to develop models which can capture this complex interrelationship and enable fast computation. In the present work, we propose a generic approach where the applicability and effectiveness of neural network in function approximation is used for rapid estimation of melting rate and they are integrated into the framework of genetic evolutionary algorithm to form a neuro-genetic optimization technique. A neural network model is trained with the experimental results. The results indicate that the heuristic converges to better solutions rapidly as it provides the values of various process parameters for optimizing the objective in a single run and thus assists for the improvement of quality in development of sound parts.

Performance Evaluation of Root Crop Harvesters
  • Abstract

  • Full Article
roots and tubers are plants yielding starchy roots, tubers, rhizomes, corms and stems. They are used mainly for human food (as such or in processed form), for animal feed and for manufacturing starch, alcohol and fermented beverages including beer.Certain root crops, notably bitter cassava, contain toxic substances, particularly in the skins. As a result, certain processes must be undertaken to make the product safe for human consumption. Apart from their high water content (70-80 percent), these crops contain mainly carbohydrates (largely starches that account for 16-24 percent of their total weight) with very little protein and fat (0-2 percent each). Methods of propagating root crops vary. A live potato tuber or seed must be planted but only part of the live yam tuber and a piece of the stalk (not the root) in the case of cassava.

Fiber loss, interference, dispersion etc are the basic limitations in realizing long distance fiber optic communication systems. Amplification of light waves by the use of Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) has become the effective solution to tolerate the limitations caused by fiber attenuation and losses. The information signal of interest in fiber optic communication system with EDFA is mainly depends on pump power, pump wavelength termed as input parameters. The performance evaluation parameters of the fiber optic communication systems are gain, noise figure, degradation, radiation tolerance, spectral burning etc termed as output parameters. We have studied the combined analysis of input and output parameters of fiber optic communication system with EDFA.

Knee-Point Voltage Determination for Current Transformer Functional Identification
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
A set of four 2000/1A current transformers (C.T.s) were earmarked for a substation power transformer protection requirement. It was necessary to investigate the characteristics of these transducers with a view to confirming whether or not they were protection C.T.s. In this paper the author discusses the open-circuit laboratory test carried out for the generation of voltage and current data relevant for the production of their magnetization curves to that effect. MATLAB was used in plotting the magnetization curves. The knee-point voltage (KVP) of the C.T.s was 1000V as determined from the curves. The C.T.s being observed to possess such a high value of KVP in each case, were thus confirmed as protection C.T.s. being clearly different from metering C.T.s whose KVP values are generally within 60 to 120V.

Numerical Deterministic Method of Including Saturation Effect in the Performance Analysis of a Single-Phase Induction Motor
  • Abstract
  • Keywords
  • Reference
  • Full Article
The effect of magnetic saturation was to be included in the performance analysis of an earlier refurbished single-phase induction motor. The approach was to determine the machine saturation factor by means of a numerical manual computation and to have this factor duly applied on the machine reactances by means of which the saturated version of its reactances were obtained. The latter reactances were then used to realize the required performance parameters of the motor with the non-linear influence of saturation thus included. In this paper, the author details the numerical computations that yielded the saturation factor as Ksat =1.18. The saturated machine reactances were then computed giving the value 2.29Ω each for the stator winding reactance and the rotor winding reactance (referred to the stator), and the value 92.79Ω for the magnetizing reactance. Thus, not less than a 15.24% general decrease in the motor reactances was observed. Also, by numerical computations, the motor efficiency, running and starting torques were valued 68.4%, 7.80N-m and 8.14N-m, respectively. Other significant parameters determined under saturation include the input current, no-load current and iron losses whose values were 8.65A, 4.28A and 131.16W, respectively. All these conduced to a 2.92% decrease in the motor efficiency and a 17.1% increase in starting torque, whilst the net output power (in kW) and the motor input power factor (in p.u.) remained virtually unchanged.
